After a quick, slick summer run, this show will give someone a Columbia Records contract.

A frequent front-runner is Jesse Kinch, 20; last week, his fresh take on “Billy Jean” led the vote totals, edging past an upbeat song by Austin French, also 20, a musical worship leader. Finishing third was Dana Williams, a Sarah Lawrence grad and part-time teacher, with a bluesy tune. Audrey Kate Geiger -- also 24, a bartender and yoga instructor – finished fifth, but was given the “West Coast save.”

WEEKEND’S MUST-SEE II: More finales, 9 p.m. Sunday, TNT and HBO.

For TNT’s “The Last Ship,” this wraps up the first season of a strong story about a ship that may be the only refuge against a global epidemic. Tonight, it heads toward home and uncertainty. And for HBO’s “True Blood,” it ends the series. Last week, Hoyt (his memory restored) got back with Jessica. Now everything points to Sookie’s house: Bill is there to talk; the villains are heading there to kill.

WEEKEND’S MIGHT-SEE: MTV Video Music Awards, 9-11 p.m. Sunday, MTV.

While would-be recording stars are performing on ABC, real ones perform on MTV. That includes Maroon 5, Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, Ariana Grande, Usher, Nicki Minaj, 5 Seconds to Summer and the two leaders in VMA nominations, Beyonce and Iggy Azalea. They have eight nominations apiece, including video of the year. Her “Drunk in Love” and his “Fancy” face Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball,” Sia’s “Chandelier” and Pharrell Williams’ “Happy.”

In the early 1960s, London’s medical people have good manners, great diction and deep secrets. Two nurses – flashy Jean and diligent Angela – are hiding their pasts. Otto, a rich, married doctor (Jack Davenport of “Smash”) tries to hide his lust for Angela.

Then there’s a wartime secret he and another doctor share. Now a police inspector, damaged and angry, questions Otto’s wife. This chapter, the first of three, moves slowly, but is beautifully played.
